THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Making MediaMonkey work on Linux was the last thing I needed to finally completely move away from Windows. This just made my week.
I just followed the "Quick Start" instructions on the page linked to at
http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.p ... ediaMonkey and that was all it needed to work. (Mind you only MediaMonky (unskinned).exe runs decently)
I had some serious issues migrating my MM.DB to my linux machine. So for anyone looking for how to do this, here's the steps I finally worked out.
1) Copy MM.DB from its old location to /home/USERNAME/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/USERNAME/Application Data/MediaMonkey
2) Open Media Monkey
3) Open "My Computer" in the navigation bar
4) Open the virtual local drive you want your music library to live in or be symbolically linked to (This should get its locations recorded in the MM.DB for step 8 )
5) Open MM.DB using an SQL tool (I used Firefox's SQLite plugin)
6) Open the songs table. Note the value held in the IDMedia field
7) Open the medias table.
8) Copy the SerialNumber and DriveType fields from the drive with Label "UPNP" to the Drive with the ID that matches all your songs IDMedia values.
9) Create a symbolic link from /home/USERNAME/.wine/dosdevices/c: to your music collection folder so that MediaMonkey doesn't notice any differences in the song's paths (Or just move your music collection to /home/USERNAME/.wine/dosdevices/c:/..., but I wouldn't do that).
